ionic-cli: bug: `ionic build ios` not working on Mac OS 10.11

From @stefankp on September 23, 2015 12:24

Type: bug

Platform: ios 9 webview

ionic build ios does not work anymore, therefore ionic run ios and ionic emulate ios also don’t work, meaning I cannot run the app through the ionic CLI. The command runs for a few seconds and then exits without any logs or error messages.

ionic build android still works fine. Building and deploying the app to the simulator or phone works through Xcode.

I am on Mac OS 10.11.1, with Xcode 7 and a complete fresh ionic install.

ionic state reset did the trick!

I have the same issue 😄 according to the cordova docs, the build task runs two commands, prepare and compile. The one that breaks (returns without any error message) is

ionic prepare ios

while

ionic compile ios

compiles the stuff that is there (without prepare, the plugins are missing though). I’m trying to understand what the prepare command is doing and it must be somewhere in this repository IMHO, but I couldn’t locate it yet.

All - try updating cordova - theres a fix available in Cordova 5.4.0 that fixes issues with Node v5.

npm install -g cordova

Let me know if this helps fix the issues.

After updated to Mac OS 10.11, I got this problem also (Cannot add platform and build for both ios and android). Finally it was fixed by the following steps (only for my case):

Uninstall Node.js v5.0.0 and install then Node.js v0.12.7
Reinstall ionic and cordova
Run the following command to clear of cache of old version cordova: $ rm -rf ~/.cordova
